    Kinder Morgan misses fourth-quarter profit estimates

    U.S. Federal Reserve officials said on Thursday that consumer price data for December did little to assure them that inflation is now on a steady track back to the central bank's 2% target, with more information needed before any decision to begin reducing rates. Overall consumer price inflation on a 12-month basis rose to 3.4% in December from 3.1% the month before. It was an ambiguous outcome at a time when Fed officials are looking for some final but convincing bits of evidence that the pandemic-era spike in inflation has dissipated to the degree they can begin easing monetary policy and begin reducing the benchmark interest rate.  ( 34 min )
